Fig. 1. Synthesis and structural characterization of the present metal and metal oxide fibers.
a Schematic of the blow-spinning method. b Photograph of a metal salt/PVB fiber mat of IGZO fibers. Scale bar = 1 cm. c Optical image PVB fibers without metal salts. Scale bar = 50 μm. d SEM image of PVB fibers without metal salts. Scale bar = 10 μm. TEM images and SAED patterns of thermally processed e IGZO, f ITO, g CuO, and h Cu fibers. Scale bar = 200 nm. Insets are selected area electron diffraction patterns. Scale bar = 5 1/nm. SEM images of i IGZO and j ITO fibers in curved states with a radius of ~2.5 µm. Scale bar = 10 μm.
